An aged man, whose sight was very nearly gone,was one day on " the isle of safety " in Piccadilly Circus,London, waiting with some anxiety for an opportunity to cross through the unceasing traffic.
A young man approached and offered his guidance,and this was thankfully accepted.
The road being crossed, the dim eyes of the old man observed that several hats were raised as the rescuer,having guided him across the pavement passed quietly into the throng of passing people. Someone
from the crowd approached the old man and asked if he knew who had helped him across the thoroughfare. "No, but he was exceedingly kind to me,' was the reply.He was greatly surprised when he learned that it was the amiable and thoughtful Prince of Wales who had done this kindly service.
